effects on behavior. Similar behavioral, corticosterone (CORT) and neurochemical<br />

outcomes as in prior studies were used here to facilitate cross-species<br />

comparisons. Offspring were chronically exposed to 0 or 100 ppm Pb in drinking<br />

water that had begun in dams 2 mos prior to breeding, to prenatal restraint stress<br />

(PS), or to both. Behavior was evaluated using a fixed-interval (FI) schedule <strong>of</strong> food<br />

values averaged
